Sounds like a scientific term for "rock hard cock." If so, then yes, but not as often as when I was younger.

G4S,

I was worried for you that it was dick related, but after I googled and learned it was not dick related I wondered that at your age would you prefer to have a dick related problem instead?

even early AMRAP work should be heavily scrutinized. If I could do it again I'd tighten things up for sure. I was def doing some horrendous divebomb crooked squats in the name of rep records. Not that those don't also work, but problems will arise.

Fack, I kinda want to just go back to GSLP right now. I'm having so much trouble getting to the gym on the 4th day. I can pretty much always do 3 days. I'm sure I can handle beginner programming on dat testosterona+mk677.

Former H&F (and all-round) charlatan now out with a book on stoicism.

"Today, he still advises or works with a variety of bestselling authors including Max, Greene, Timothy Ferriss, Tony Robbins, and Food Babe's Vani Hari." Lol

At least his name is ok. Reading some Marcus Aurelius right now and the dude just keeps talking about Roman people and demons.

I think if I could go back to the start I would have done SS but with only squat bench and deadlift every day for a few weeks until I was really comfortable with form on those three lifts. Then I'd add the press and cleans/rows. And I'd switch to GSLP after like 3-4 months.

Yea. In the context of of giving someone someone an easily-follow-able progression when they are not going to have good supervision for adjustments.

In my experience (n=20ish) a slightly modified (with a bit more horizontal pulling) works well for the first few months for folks I've helped get into training. It's particularly nice for those whose objections are "I don't wanna be spending too much time in the gym" and for those who are gonna be largely unsupervised (vs AMRAP OHPs etc.) Also, women seem to be surprised and enjoy seeing progress from low-vol capped reps vs whatever pump-training they were used to (with the obligatory #notallwomen disclaimer.)

Then move to something else that makes sense for them- GSLP, or 4 day stuff like 5/3/1, MS, whatever.

Knee-jerk aversion of anything Rippetoe is silly, as is being committed to super-low vol stuff as one's training career progresses (I was guilty of this early on.)

Cliffs: Extreme ideology almost always dumb

Ab DYEL? What are your maxes?

You probably can. You may wanna switch to higher rep ranges in a full body split or do something less CNS intensive (heavy sqat + DL on same day). Or just do those Chad Waterbury full body workouts I used to do a decade ago.

They'd probably be not horrendous actually if you subbed out the silly **** (Zercher Squat) for less silly **** (FS).

Ya, this is a standard programming change. If I was just able to give someone intermittent coaching, I'd have them start with this, practice some clean pulls from the hang every session and then add in a rotation of other back exercises.

I like stoicism.

I just uploaded a nood for my log to imgur and some random person private messaged me asking for a dick pic

Nice dude congrats. Was he hot? How big was it?

Fack it bros. Going to GSLP for at least 4 weeks. I have a feeling alternating between periods of relatively lower volume higher frequency highish intensity and back to higher volume lower intensity lower frequency might be beneficial. Vary the stimuli and all that.

Of course I'm going to do hbbs, incline press, seated db ohp, deadlift as my main lifts and completely do my own thing for accessories so it's barely even gslp though. And 2 dl worksets instead of 1 ofc.

Syn,

I thought private messages were supposed to be private, bro.

It's a coin toss at this point.

Extra Fabulous Comics is pretty funny (and quality approved by kyleb), as this H&F-related comic proves:

This is bull**** broscience, but I also feel like full body training builds nebulously defined "work capacity" a lot better. When I was olytarding, I could be in the gym like 2+ hours 4 days a week and not feel tired and kinda have to stop myself. Now? 50 minute chest workout and I am tired and talk myself out of cardio.


But maybe that's just early onset olds. But I don't think so. Maybe. Kinda. I don't know anything.

Obv it's your lungs collapsing from pollution, gg.

fuuuuuccccckkk you may be correct

Cliffs on this guy being a 2p2er?

Btw, I read (well, listened to) Thinking Fast and Slow (which I believe was one of 23423423 books you recommended). Tremendous. But the bottom line seems to be that we're basically F'd due to all of our cognitive biases and we likely can't fix many of them.

Was very interesting to listen to during the end of the election.

Ya, that is totally an accurate summation of DK's stance.

Ran into a very spiteful ex yesterday. She must of been in the holiday spirit and finally decided to give me back 3 boxes of things I left at her place. One of the items was an only opened 2-3x 5lb tub of good whey protein. It has an expiration date of may 2014.

The cheapskate side of me is making me ask. Could this be used? Even if I made protein bars or something? I know i should prob just dump it, but expiration dates on a lot of things are bs, and visually looks normal.

It should be fine.

Tough call. Give 'er a smell and taste test with just water first. If it tastes great, its good. If its flat, well...

Given the exposure to the elements (mainly, moisture) it shouldn't be that bad though, it won't "hurt" you.

However, that's really old. The protein / serving is likely nowhere near the stated value. It loses its actual protein value over time so what was once 24/g/scoop is probably now like 14/g/scoop after 2.5 years.

Try a scoop, test for explosive ****.
